| Sep 27, 2014 at 22:15 | comment | added | Valorum | @Tasos - In T3, when the Terminator's Operating system is under attack it turns blue when benign and red when back to normal "kill John COnnor" mode. | |

| Sep 27, 2014 at 22:11 | comment | added | Valorum | @Tasos - Yes she did, along with quite a lot of human-readable text | |
| Sep 27, 2014 at 21:23 | comment | added | Tasos | That's a good question :) didnt the T-X model on T3 have a HUD too? | |
| Sep 27, 2014 at 20:55 | comment | added | Nras | Actually I like @KyleJones idea. It could very well be some artefact from the days when the code for the Terminator was developed and for some reason (maybe the one stated in your comment) never got removed again. | |
| Sep 27, 2014 at 19:58 | comment | added | Valorum | @Xantec - Assuming skynet is building code on top of code, rewriting completely from scratch could lead to all sorts of difficulties; stackoverflow.com/questions/1064403/… | |
| Sep 27, 2014 at 19:41 | comment | added | Tom W | @KyleJones I guess that's how humans have managed to hack the Terminators - Skynet has been shipping a debug build the entire time! | |

Removed two typos.

| Sep 27, 2014 at 18:05 | comment | added | Xantec | @KyleJones Removing that code, assuming it was left by humans, would make the code more efficient. Removing it would also distance Skynet from the humans it despised enough to want to wipe out. | |

| Sep 27, 2014 at 17:53 | comment | added | Kyle Jones | A Terminator is a pretty complicated piece of hardware and software. Many times while it was being developed the developer probably pounded her fists on her keyboard and shouted "WTF is this thing doing, and why?!" So the developer added code to display an overview of system status and control logic. Judgment Day happened and Skynet picked up where the human left off. Skynet left the debug code in because there was no point in removing it. | |
